The Invention of Dating
Book • 2016
Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating by Moira Weigel explores the history of dating from the early 20th century to the present day.
The book argues that dating is a social construct influenced by industrialization, urbanization, and economic shifts, particularly the rise of consumer capitalism.
Weigel examines how dating has been a form of labor, especially for women, and how it reflects and shapes societal norms and gender roles.
The book also discusses the impact of technological advancements and market forces on contemporary dating practices, challenging the notion that dating is a natural or timeless phenomenon.
